Both <br />The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival <br />vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include <br />curved parapets (or espadana); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, oven with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by <br />large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces colmmonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between <br />1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama- <br />California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily <br />recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red the roof <br />coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, <br />balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. The Churrigueresque variant <br />features ornate carvings highlighting arches, columns, window surrounds, cornices and parapets. <br />Pagel of 4 <br />cm`historic\tcmplalcs\Dtoadway 217 N (Gilmkcr Auto Bldg) <br />8/8;01 <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />25A-7
